After Ariane saves Sasha's number into her phone, she looks up at her with a dimpled grin to let her know once she was finished. A lot of people in town were going to be useful to her goal of completing her next book, but out of all of them, she could tell Sasha would be the most serviceable. She frowned a bit when she rushed to leave, but waved goodbye politely. She was hungry after all, so she didn't mind having time to herself to have the meal she planned on having in the first place. As she waited for the waiter to return, she noticed that Sasha had forgotten something in the booth. Ariane went to grab for it, realizing it was a journal. She should have called Sasha right away, but first, she devised to research its contents.

"Yeah, that makes sense... so all you have to do is try to dig up some dirt on him. If there is none to be found, then he's out of the question." Pursing her lips, Ariane finished off the rest of the warm liquid in her mug, eye contact never breaking with the young woman sitting across from her. Indirectly, she was urging Sasha to continue pursuing him as a suspect. But at the same time she didn't want to seem too controlling and overbearing. She sat the mug back down, manicured nails tapping the table meticulously. She thought a bit about the offer, and quickly decided that to view it as an opportunity to further delve herself in this case. Plus, she was sure that her accepting would make Sasha's day. "Okay! Yeah... Just let me know when you need me, give me a location, and I'll be there if I'm free." She dug through her handbag, and retrieved her phone, fingers flying across the screen as she typed in her passcode with ease. "Your number? So I can contact you if something comes up."

"Working on an engine? I see... I guess I know who to call if mine ever fails!" she said half-jokingly, her suspicion that Sasha wasn't telling her the full story hidden behind the guise of humor. Ariane was pretty good with body language and correlating it with the true intention behind somebody's words. It was pretty obvious that Sasha's hand should have been burning right now -- she could hardly hold onto her on cup for that long without feeling pain. But she decided to let it go, and shifted her focus to the question she was asked. Her mind was jumped with a lot of thoughts in that moment, and none of them pointed her in which direction to take. But then she remembered what she was looking for in Full Sail. She wasn't there to look for a resolution to this investigation. Research was what drew her in to the small town, and that would remain her focus. With that in mind, only one option made sense. "Anywhere you could find her boyfriend as well. He has to know something... Has he shown any grief?" For her next novel, the victim's boyfriend was bound to be integral part of the plotline. This could determine the fictionalized version's guilt or innocence.

Taking the map swiftly, Ariane looked at each of the locations. She spent a great deal of time scanning the map for the sake of her memory before setting it down in front of her. She was going to make sure to pay each of these location's a visit when she gets some spare time, and might even ask Sasha to tag along if she's up for it. She nods, expression showing a great deal of curiosity as the other woman spoke about the suspects of the case. She wasn't shocked when she mentioned that the boyfriend was a possibility. That's where everyone starts looking, because more time's than not, that's who commits murders. The victim's romantic partner. What surprises her is that her parents haven't been ruled out. It's not very often that a victim's parents are suspects in a case. "Right, Matt Sydal... her parents... and the several people she has angered before her death." She wanted to speak with Eva's boyfriend the most. Just once, to get a taste of his personality traits for her research. Another question suddenly pops into mind, and it's one that will allow Ariane to get to know Sasha a little better. "Sasha, don't take this the wrong way, because I'm not accusing you of anything. I think it's more than clean that you had nothing to do with this girl's death but... where were you the night of the crime? Again, don't take it personally. I'm just curious and have been asking a lot of people the same thing."

Ariane follows Sasha over to the booth, making herself comfortable in the seat across from her. Taking her full cup of coffee, she takes a quick sip of the hot liquid before setting the mug back down on the table. "Yep, it's a deal," Ariane responds. She didn't even know where to start at far as questions go. There are multiple things she could ask. Who she think committed the crime is one of those things. She did have a list of suspects, but there has to be someone she's really suspicious of. Somebody that has proven themselves to be not just a suspect, but the suspect. "Out of your list of suspects... who do you think did it? Who's the shadiest of the bunch?"

ARIANE ANDREW
She chuckles at her shocked response. This woman isn't the first, nor would she be the last to react in that manner during her stay in Full Sail. She bends down to pick up a piece of paper she had missed, and hands it off to her with a warm smile, flashing a pearly set of teeth. Usually when she meets a fan she likes to keep things short so she is able to get on with she was planning on doing, but she needs to speak with this woman for a while longer. That list looked a lot like a list of suspects, and someone with her knowledge of this crime could be useful. This was Sasha Banks, the host of a podcast she finds helpful with her research. She is more than just a fan for right now. "We both know demand for a follow-up series is high right now. We both also know a lot about the murder that took place here..." she says, peering at bundle of newspapers and clippings the other woman was holding close to her chest. Ariane made sure nobody else was paying any attention to them, and leaned in closer. "You're Sasha Banks, correct? I'm here doing my own research on the case. Inspiration was running low, and I've decided researching this case would be the best option to help ease my writer's block. Now tell me... how much do you know? I've heard a few episodes of your podcast, but I need more."

Ariane had just moved in a day ago, but she could already feel the creative juices flowing through her veins. The whole atmosphere of Full Sail was just perfect for inspiration for her novel, even past the fact that a murder had taken place not too long ago. Everyone she has spoken so far had a unique perspective, and an irreplaceable personality nothing like anybody else in town. There were a lot of things to do in town, each venue having a distinctive character of its own. In the Western side of Full Sail, she took brief peek of Lake Vincent without being spotted. Just to get a taste of the majestic scenery Full Sail had to offer, which would be needed to build the fictional town in her novel. The Eastern side is where she would be spending most of her time, however, because she had booked a room at the Redblue. She also is already in love with Mercury's. She was served a meal for free there upon her arrival yesterday. She was recognized, and some of workers there were fans of her work. That was where she was headed now to satisfy her appetite.
Stepping through the entrance, Ariane waved at an employee that was excited to see her for the second day in a row. She made a mental note to give this kid a signed copy of her next novel just for being so sweet to her the day before. Another step forward, a crinkle sound made by the tip of her heel caught her attention. She looked down, and saw that she had stepped on a creased newspaper. She bent over to retrieve it, and read its contents thoroughly. This is what she was here for. The murder of Eva. The shockwave effect of paranoia this case has had on the town's residents is increasingly noticeable, and she hasn't even been there for that long. To her right, she notices a woman struggling to collect her things from the floor. She must have dropped them. With the newspaper still in hand, she stood tall over the woman. "Do you need any help?"

CONNECTION TO THE CRIME: Ariane's debut Murder/Mystery trilogy Minnesota Mist has proven to be a massive success, all three novels having their respective reigns atop the New York Times Best Sellers list. Hype for her second series is high, and the murder that took place in Full Sail, Washington has caught this young author's eye. She decides to move to the small town for inspiration, studying the case and speaking with those close to the victim.
MARITAL STATUS: Single
BACKSTORY: As strange as it may sound, Ariane has always been fascinated with murder and crime in general ever since she was a small kindergartener. This is due to the fact she has witnessed murder firsthand when her father brutally killed her mother right in front of her at the young age of six years old. She had no choice but to move in with her grandparents at that point, and as anybody could imagine, this was rough on her. With no other way to cope, Ariane wrote out her feelings in a small diary... and this stemmed her passion for writing. As she grew older she found herself writing more murder-themed work, and though relatives and teachers were both concerned for her, she received praise for her talent. This praise and support is what made her the woman she is today; a successful author, with an already classic trilogy under her belt.
